After the receipt of definite news of Vice

not have sustained such lr.Jurlea otherwise.
It waa also pointed out that it waa known

Sevastopol while the latter was maneuver
ing. The day has been one of Intense ex
citement Ir. St. Petersburg. The first Ink
ling Of the catastrophe leaked out on the
receipt of a telegram to Grand Duke Vladi
mar from his son, Boris, announcing the
loss of the battleship and the wounding of
Grand Duke Cyril, who was first officer.
The Grand Duchess Vladimir was almost
frantic on the receipt of the telegram, be
ing convinced that the message was only
precursor of worse news, an It was
signed by Grand Duke Boris Instead of
by the aide to Grand "Duke 'Cyril, Lieu'
tenant Von Kube.
- Clr Fran tie with Grief.,
The1 youngest son of Grand 'Duke Vlad
imir, Grand Duke Andrew, a dash
ing young guardsman, behind the fast
est trotters hurried to the winter palace,
the admiralty and elsewhere seeking con
firmation of the news which came two
hours later from Rear Admiral Orlgoro
Vltch, the' commandant at Port Arthur. A
religious service waa Immediately held at
Grand Duke Vladimir's palace. In which
thanks were returned to the Almighty for
the sparing of the life of Grand Duke
Cyril, but the emperor was so overwhelmed
with grief at the death of Vice Admiral
Makaroff that neither he nor the empresa
attended the service. Instead the emperor
sent a member of his personal staff to
break the sad news to Vice ' Admiral
Makaroff's widow, who Is living at Peter-
hof, a few miles weat of Bt. Petersburg.
Meanwhile the city waa filled with the wild
est rumors, but the official dispatches were
so meager and private dispatches so con
fllcting regarding what had occurred that
the public waa kept in auapense for six
hours. And then, although the report was
Incomplete, dispatches were posted on The
Nevsky Prospect and other war bulletin
boards. The grief of ' the crowds, whose
worst fears were thus officially confirmed,
was touching. The ministry of marine was
soon surrounded by thousands of persons
eagerly asking-for -more details. In the
ciowd of Inquirers were the stricken rela
tives of those who were on board the Pe
tropavlovsk.
Location of Mines I'nknown.
What occurred prior to (he blowing up
of the flagship was only vaguely known,
except that Vloe Admiral Makaroff with
his flag flying sailed out to engage the
enemy. It Is thought possible that Vice
Admiral Togo planned an ambuscade by
sending In a small squadron in the hope
of drawing out the Russian 'commander to
the open and then cutting off his escape.
The Associated Press learns that the lo
cution of six of the mines planted by tho
Yeneset were unknown, the charts having
been lost when that vessel went down.
Probably It was one of these mines that
the Petropavlovsk struck.
Vice Admiral Makaroff's death Is really
a greater loss than would be that of several
battleships. He waa the prldo of the navy
and enjoyed the confidence of his sovereign
as well as of the officers and men of tliu
service. Speaking of his death, offlcers here
all remarked upon the strange fatality that
he should lose' his life on a heavily armored
battleship, to which he had a particular
aversion. This morning for the first time
he raised his flag on a battleship. Pre
viously he had gone Cut on board the
cruiser Novik or the cruiser Aakold. It was
at the urgent request of hia f rlenda that
he did not risk his life In this fashion and
transferred his flag to the Petropavlovak,
It la now an open secret that Vice Ad
miral Makaroff was not anxious to resign
his command at Cronatadt to go to the far
east, thus leaving his wife and family; but
the emperor held such a high opinion of
him that he declined to consider other
candldutes, although It was pointed out
that Rear Admiral Rojentsky, who had
been appointed to command the Baltic
squadron," and who is destined to succeed
Makaroff, as well as others, were anxious
to distinguish themselves.' '
Had Aversion for Ilia Mission.
The emperor In his summons to Vice Ad
miral Makaroff aald:
My choice haa fallen upon you and I
will not take a refusal," and ao the admiral
went to the far east. The emperor's sorrow
Is doubly keen on this account.
By Imperial command a requiem service
will be celebrated at the Admiralty church
at noon tomorrow for the emperor's favor
ite admiral.
Tonight the grief-stricken widow, accord
ing to the Russian custom, had a requiem
service celebrated at ther resldenoe. She
has been much worried over the health of
her husband, who suffered from diabetes.
reference to which was made In a recent
telegram from the admiral, which said he
was compelled to disobey orders as to tak
ing regular sleep. . .
The coincidence is generally commented
upon that the Icebreaker Yermak, one of
Vice Admiral Makaroff's greatest triumphs,
steamed majestically up the Neva today,
having cut through the Ice from Cron
atadt, Its enormous black hull dwarfing
the warships moored alongside.
"There's Stefan Oslpovlch's ship," cried
the moujlks, who knew and loved Makaroff
so well that they called Mm by his patro
nymic.
Makaroff Was Very ropnlar.
Rear Admiral Rojentsky Is a man of
an- utterly different mould from Vice Ad
miral Makaroff. He is a very able sailor
and a man of talent and ability, but he 1
not so popular with the Jackies as was the
dead commander-in-chief.
Makaroff is believed to have been In the
conning tower When the Petropavlovsk
was blown up. Grand Duke Cyril probably
owes his life to the fact that he Is a tine
athlete a'nd a splendid swimmer.
Count Grabbe, aid-de-camp to Grand Duko
Vladimir, will leave tomorrow to bring
Grand Duke Cyril home. Nothing la known
of the character of the grand duke's la

It was announced from Berlin, December

Objections to Marriage.
It Is said, according to the dispatch, that
the grand duke was deeply In love with the
Hessian grand duchess before her mar
rlage. One of the objections to the mar
riage was that Grand Duke Cyril was o
orthodox, Russian faith, while the grand
duchess Is a Lutheran. In addition there
seemed to be a personal objection on the
part of the emperor to receiving the
princess at the Russian court.

(Copyright. 1904, by Collier's Weekly.)
BT. PETERSBURG, March 14 -Russla has
settled down to the serious business of pre
paring for a war upon which it has al
ready embarked. In Its capital there are
few signs of unwonted activity; along Its
Transsiberlan railroad thousands of sol
dlers and tons of supplies are rushing to
Manchuria, In obedience to orders Issued
from the quiet offices which overlook the
Nevaky. During the war with Spain the
White House at Washington was a hive of
Industry, and tho War and Navy depart
menta were surcharged with excitement.
In London, during the South African war,
the War and Admiralty offices were be
sieged, and Whitehall was thronged with
people anxious for news from the front,
(inlet at the Capital.
St. Petersburg knows no such scenes as
those of Washington and London. A few
persons gathered around the official bul
letins pasted upon lamp poets, and inter
ested groups examining photographs of
Kouropatkln and Makaroff, or of soldiers
of the different corps at the front these
re the vislole Indications of the trend
which the thought of the people has taken.
Walk to the Place Dvortsovy, a hug
semicircle, the base of which is formed by
the Imposing Winter palace, and the cir
cumference by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, the Ministry of Finance and the
Department of the General Staff. There
are a few soldiers scattered about tho
palace; occasionally a carriage dashes
through the arohed driveway. A line of
droskies Is in front of the Foreign office,
seeking fares among the modest number of
callera upon officials in that building. The
Ministry of Finance Is almost deserted,
and the Department of the General Staff,
nd the Admiralty building, which Is Just
across to the right of the palace, are as In
time of peace. Neither anxiety nor haste,
nor fear is apparent. The white garb of
snow clothes the scene in Its deadening
Hence.
Turn now to the first man you meet, be
he prince or peasant, and ask him of the
war. He will repeat as facts rumors tl.at
themselves cry out their exaggeration.
Ho will tell you what he has heard, and
sometimes amplify It, and If you press him
he will add: "War was not of Russia's
seeking. It was thrust upon her. It is
a holy war, a war against heathenism and
for God. It Is a war of races, of the white
against the yellow." The magnificent
cathedral of St. Isaao is a step distant.
Pass through Its colossal bronze doors and
you will find a mass being said for the
success of Russian arms, and Jostling each
other as they kneel and bow their heads
against the flags are men of the bluest and
reddest blood of the empire. Patriotism

General Kouropatkln arrived at the Nico

God-speed a gathering distinguished enough
to greet a returning conqueror. To reach
the Imperial waltlngxroom, which he waa
permitted to use, he passed through a
short hall, lined with offlcers having high
rank and wearing medals for exceptional
service upon their breasts. Each one of
those officers grasped his hand and kissed

the surface In such situations by their
struggles to reach the general and shake
his hand. In their top huts and frock
coats, black splotches against the brilliant
gold trappings, the gorgeous uniforms, and
the medals which covered the breasts of
nearly every one there, they squirmed and
wriggled around the room, following in the
wake of a pushing mass that wanted none
but Russians to surround their here, when
he took his final look upon ths room. My
last glimpse of the battle showed that
diplomacy had conquered war. "I will not
say goodbye," General Kuoropatkln said
to the minister. "It is au re voir. We will
meet again In Seoul." "I pray that It may
be so, responded the minister.
I no longer doubted the patriotism of all
classes of the Russian people; their do

did not expect, and for which they had
not prepared.
Ooa vine, by Hie Appearance.
To look at Kouropatkln la to be convinced
of hia ability. He la modest and unasaum
lng In manner. He is short and. stocky,
and has a good head, with shrewd, kindly
eyes, and a determined chin. He is popular
with the rank and file of the army, and has
the prestige of having bee the favorite
pupil and chief of staff of Bkobeleff, the
greet Russian hero of the Turkish war,
It Is a legend of the Russian people that

British government, he wee atrlpped of his

Father needs him," peasanta and soldiers
say with childlike simplicity, "he will re
appear upon hia famous white horse. In
Kouropatkln some of Skobeleff's spirit la
supposed to dwell. As minister of war.
General Kouropatkln displayed remarkable
administrative capacity. He knows what
his troops can do, and, more Important
at this moment, he knows the capacity of
the single track railroad which forms tne
vital artery of his supplies. "The railroad,"
he said to the offlcers of the general staff,
"that Is the Important feature of the cam
paign. Upon It dciVnds the strength of j
our army." He repeated this opinion at
Moscow and at other points along the road
to the Far Eaat. It may, therefore, be de
pended upon that he will aee that the rnll
road ahall suffer no Irreparable damage.
Hia confidants have told me that he haa
the general features of his plan of cam
paign already outlined. "It Is a plan that
Can be adapted to circumstances," they
assert, "and Its execution will begin se
soon as sufficient troops are on the ground."
General Kouropatkln says he will not hurry.
"There Is no need," he asserted, "for
haste."
Confident of "Winning.
How many Russians have asked me: "Do
you think we will win?" The question
seemed to Imply doubt In their ability to
conquor. But often they answered the
question themselves. "The Japanese are
brave and -hardy," they said. "The war
will be long and fierce. We will lose heav
ily. But we will win, for we mut win."
That they feel keenly the unfortunate crip
pling of their fleet Is shown by what they
next said: "Our sailor and our soldier are
alike In the possesion of courage. They
are Russians. But you will see that the
army will not be so easily aurprlsed as
were our ships; nor will the latter again
permit unpercelved attack. The fleet Is to
be excused, because, under positive orders
from St. Petersburg. Vice Admiral Stark
was forbidden to take any action which
might lead the Japanese to believe that ws
were preparing for war. But war has been
forced upon us, and our fleet has been se
riously weakened. The army will avenge
the treachery of which the Retvlsan, Cxsre
vltch, Pallada, Varlag and Koriets were
the victims.
I was curious to ascertain upon whom
-the admiralty fixed the responsibility for
the strategical blunder. In connection with
the division of the fleet, which Captain
Mahan pointed out In his first article in
Collier's, and I sought an admiral of the
staff. "Captain Mahnn's criticism," he
snld, "Is absolutely Just. Had I been at
Port Arthur I would never have author
ised the detachment of a division of th
squadron and its assignment to Vladi
vostok, where manifestly it could be of no
service."
"Who." I asked, "waa responsible for
the separation?"
"Well, you know," he answered evasively
'we did not expect war. In fact, our or
ders prevented us from taking any action
of a warlike character. Our hands were
tied."
Alexteff Gave the Orders.
But who," I Insisted, "ordered the for
matlon of the squadron of four cruisers
at Vladivostok? Vice Admiral Stark?"
"No," he aald.
"Then who?"
"The viceroy, Admiral Alexleff." And he
added, as if to divert my mind from what
he had said: "Admiral Makaroff has ro
lleved Vice Amlral Btark, you know, and
he will make a brilliant record. You read
about his effort to rescue one of our tcr-
pedo boats which was struck by a Japa
nese shell? He went out, not In an ar
mored ship, but In the second-class cruiser
Novlk. This gives you an Indication of
bis courage, and also an Idea of his method
of warfare. He is an ardent advocate of
torpedo boats and light cruisers. 'Those
are the types of ships which win vlotorles,
he has often said to me. Now he will use
them. It Is comforting to us here, how
ever, to know that he has six battleships
fit for service. The Retvlzan will soon be
ready, The Cxarevltch unfortunately can
not be easily repaired at Port Arthur. Tou
did not know that the Retvlzan, when it
ran aground after being torpedoed, pre
vented our heavy ships from going out?
Nor did Captain Mahan," and his eyes
twinkled. "But ths Japanese must have
had an idea of the situation, and that Is
the reason why they eeht those steamers
in. You can depend upon It that, in spite
of the Inactivity of our fleet. It is dn
cidedly not a negligible quantity, and will
play an Important part In future opera
tions. Its duty will be to cut Japan's com
munlcatlons when military operations begin
in Manchuria."

How to Pronounce
Hyomei
Sherman & McConnell Drug Co. Tell of
TbJg Remarkable Treatment That
Cures Catarrh Without Stomach
Dosing.
"While sJl onr customers who have used
Hyomei agrea that it Is remarkally suc
cessful In curing catarrh arid other 'dis
eases of the air passages," says Sherman
& Co McConnell Drug Co., corner 16th and
Dodge streets, Omaha, "yet there has been
considerable diversity of opinion as 16 how
the name is pronounced."
"Hyomei Is pronounced Just as If it were
spelled 'high-o-me,' with the acoent on the
first syllable."
"A great many come to our etore and
Instead of asking for Hyomei, tell us they
want a package of the treatment, for ca
tarrh that W(r are selling on a guarantee.'"'
"While we know what they mean, and
all of our clerks will give them Hyomei,
yet we want every' one to know how to
pronounce the name of Hyomei, so that
they may run no chance of 'getting any
thing but Hyomei, no matter whore they go.
"It Is nature's true cure for catarrhal
troubles. It kills the germs of this disease,
soothes and heals tho irritated mucous
membrane, and ' effectually drives all ca
tarrhal poisons from the system.
"All the stomach dosing In the world can
o no lasting; good In the treatment of ca
tarrh unless the nose and throat are free ;
from catarrhal' microbes. There la no ,
atomach dosing with Hyomei; Just ,
breathe it. "
"We have so much confidence in the
vnlue of the treatment, that we are selling
It with the understanding that we will re
turn the money If It fulls to cure. All Dec
readers know that we do exactly as we
agree."
